The changelog also indicates improved app stability for the File Manager.

Next up is the OnePlus Switch app. Developers seem to have improved the OnePlus Switch app by adding support for more types of data migration. The last item listed in the changelog is the OnePlus Widget. The forum post states that the company has added the clock widget on the home screen. Similar to past announcements, the company asked OxygenOS Open Beta testers to report any bugs that they encounter. OnePlus stated that users can use the new OnePlus Feedback tool to report any bugs or suggestions. For the people unaware, the company has recently integrated its feedback tool inside its OnePlus Community app.
